Joel Weikert
Growing up, Joel spent the majority of his time split between being outdoors in the Des Moines area and working on art projects. It wasn’t until a high school art class assignment did he realize the professions of landscape architecture and land planning existed, and that they combined his two great interests: the outdoor environment and exercising his creativity. His professional career has taken him from central Iowa to Kansas City and now, northern Colorado.
Today, Joel enjoys the collaboration and iterative nature of the design process to problem solve and create engaging outdoor environments. His boundless curiosity and plethora of interests allow Joel to look at unique challenges from different angles to evaluate the best possible solutions.
